• Where to Fish on Memory Lake 152

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Burnett County, recorded fish include brown trout, northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill and pumpkinseed. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 69°F; by January the average is down near 9°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. The open-water window runs from around early April to about late November in an average year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Hay Creek Flowage at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
